Washington State Cougars coach Mike Leach has been steadfast in his assessment of his quarterbacks throughout preseason camp — he has three talented guys, and all are doing a good job. Even as it was clear this week that the competition to replace Gardner Minshew II had been narrowed to just two — fifth-year senior Anthony Gordon and sixth-year graduate transfer Gage Gubrud — the mantra remained the same.
That changed today following the second scrimmage of preseason, when Leach plainly said Gordon had the better day.
Not only did Gordon throw for more yards, he did it in fewer attempts.
